In the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, we added the capability to use Microsoft Edge as a kiosk using [assigned access](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/enterprise/assigned-access) and added new policies to enhance the kiosk experience. With assigned access, IT admins can create a tailored browsing experience locking down a Windows 10 device to only run a single-app or multi-app kiosk device. It also prevents users from accessing the file system and running executables or other apps from Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft Edge kiosk mode supports four configuration types. For example, you can configure Microsoft Edge to load only a single URL in full-screen mode when you configure digital/interactive signage on a single-app kiosk device. These configuration types can help you determine what configuration is best suited for your kiosk device.

A multi-app kiosk device for public browsing is publicly accessible and supports browsing the internet. Public browsing runs a multi-tab version of InPrivate browsing mode with limited functionality that runs in full-screen mode. Users can open and close Microsoft Edge and launch other apps if allowed by assigned access. Instead of an “End session” button to clear their browsing session, the user closes Microsoft Edge normally.
